In a meta-analysis, researchers from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and China Medical University in Shenyang for the first time combined 27 studies and found strong indications that fluoride may adversely affect cognitive development in children. Based on the findings, the authors say that this risk should not be ignored, and that more research on fluoride’s impact on the developing brain is warranted.

 

The average loss in IQ was reported as a standardized weighted mean difference of 0.45, which would be approximately equivalent to seven IQ points for commonly used IQ scores with a standard deviation of 15.*

JUST IN: Four Republican House members—Mike Lawler of New York and Brian Fitzpatrick, Ryan Mackenzie, and Rob Bresnahan of Pennsylvania—signed a Democratic discharge petition Wednesday to force a floor vote on a three-year extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies.

 

This provides the required 218 signatures, though the vote cannot occur until January under procedural rules.

 

The centrists have criticized the Democratic plan but chose to support the maneuver to prevent the subsidies from expiring at year’s end, despite opposition from Speaker Mike Johnson.

New plaques have been installed below the photos of presidents along Trump’s new White House “Presidential Walk of Fame,” located on the outside south wall of the West Wing collapse. (Facing the Rose Garden/patio) 

Biden’s plaque says: “Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American history.” 

Obama’s plaque refers to “Barack Hussein Obama” and calls him “one of the most divisive political figures in American history.”

Bill Clinton’s plaque at the end of the write-up reads: “In 2016, President Clinton’s wife, Hillary Clinton, lost the Presidency to President Donald J. Trump!”
